SPECIAL to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The disappoint-
ment which many Dakotians felt at the
presidents passing over i'll his message the
question of the admission or division Of Da-
kota is accounted for by some from good
reasons. A man prominent in public life.
who is able to speak from actual infOrma-
ton upon this point, says:
The president has not fully made up his
mind in regard TO Dakota. He is such fair
minded man that presume if the people OF
Dakota should vote to divide the territory and
ask for the admission of South Dakota he
would recommend, even to Democratic
house that South Dakota should be admitted,
although that would be one of the greatest
disasters possible ut present to his party in
congress, strengthening the Republican ma
iority in the senate, and diminishing the al
ready small Democratic majority in the
house. But the president felt when he Wrole
his MESSAGE and he took advice upon the
question that il he made any allusion what
ever to Dakota he would be in duty bound to
do as much by other territories that are now
trapping at the doors of congress to
be admitted into the Union. Montana,
Washington Territory and New Mexico have
as much show of right as Dakota when you
come to average up population with square
miles of territory. The strongest point, how
ever, with the president is that he does not
know the actual SITUATION IN Dahota upon
this question. When a vote of the people
shall show positively, beyond all quibb i ng
and Misrepresentation on either side. be they
Democrats or Republicans that it is the will
of the people of that territory that it shall be
divided or admitted as a whole, you will find
the president taking very decided position
from which nothing but the strongest possible
arguments will cause him to move. l think
that the appointment of JUdge Church was in
a large measure the effect of considerations
of this kind. He wanted Il man at the head
Of the territory with whom he had personal
acquaintance, and in whom he had strong
confidence. so that when the time came that
he should need TO refer questions of fact, if
you please, to some one in. the territory of
Dakota who could tell him the truth, he could
turn to governor whom he knew and rely
upon the statements given him.
